Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Geographic Information System (GIS) software is used to visualize and analyze spatial trends in data. UCSUR staff members have decades of leadership experience using GIS systems to manage and analyze spatial data, including executing original research and providing data publishing, technical assistance, online decision support, and data education and training. Our staff members have led GIS-driven projects across a diversity of domains, including environ mental policy, health care, land use and housing policy, and public health. Exemplary recent projects include tools and training developed by the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center, interactive maps of neighborhood data in the Southwestern Pennsylvania Community Profiles, and primary collaborations with UPMC physicians investigating spatial aspects of cardiovascular disease.
